Nope - and assets brought into marriage were 99% mine as well. She was working when we met and when got married and for a time (a year or so) after that - till we had a child.
And frankly, since then were able to let her be a "home maker" - the beginning of which period was REALLY rough for us (a close family death (my side), a move, and other major life stressors all a once), she has had excuses not to carry a large portion of the load. She was not even very involved as a Mom and we started counseling b/c of that very issue. Its been pretty much a slow decline ever since (ref. fable of frog in pot being brought to boil e v e r s o s l o w l y ).
